Corsa Swing
05 Jul 2007
Opel Swing is essentially an estate version of the Corsa with which General Motors India intends to fight competition from the Fiat Sienna Weekend and Maruti's Baleno Altura. The Corsa Swing has an extra amount of metal and glass in its body, which gives a dash to the car.
The Swing is available in vibrant and youthful colours- bright red, passion yellow, cashmere, cosmic blue and startling green. The Swing 1.4 promises 6,000 rpm (135 kmph).
